        System.out.println(i);
    }
}

                          ANSWERS
                         ==========
1) Not possible. Because while instantiating, constructor will be called recursively.
2) Yes, the code is correct. You can call static methods through reference variable which is pointing to null. Output will be,
Static Method
3) 6
4) Throws NullPointerException at run time.
5)
true
false
6) No. It gives compile time error. Compiler treats int and Integer as two different types while overriding. Auto-boxing doesn’t happen here.
7) Only Line 7 shows compile time error. Because, compiler will be in an ambiguous situation of which constructor to call. Because, String class has five constructors which take one argument of derived type . Where as Integer class has only one constructor which takes one argument of derived type.
8) ONE12TWOTHREE34FOURFIVE5
9) 11
10) 75

8 Common Programming Mistakes

  ==> Learning to program can be tough--just ask anyone who's done it! Fortunately, a lot of problems happen over and over again--I've put together 8 of the most common problems that you'll run into as a new programmer.   1. Undeclared Variables int main(){ cin>>x; cout< "Huh? Why do I get an error?" Your compiler doesn't know what x means. You need to declare it as a variable. int main(){ int x; cin>>x; cout< 2. Uninitialized variables int count; while(count "Why doesn't my program enter the while loop?" In C++ variables are not initialized to zero. In the above snippet of code, count could be any value in the range of int. It might, for example, be 586, and in that situation the while loop's condition w...
